CROET is located in a building shared with basic science departments in the School of Medicine in the heart
of the Oregon Health & Science University Marquam Hill Campus in Portland, OR. This arrangement maximizes
opportunities for interaction among the respective faculties and minimizes costs. CROET's facilities were
dedicated during a week of festivities in September 1993.
CROET occupies 50,000 square feet (3 1/4 contiguous floors of functional space) with close proximity to animal
quarters and other research institutes and schools. The facility enables more than 100 people to be engaged
in research, outreach and education that helps position Oregon as a national and Pacific Rim leader in occupational
and environmental health. See Core Research Facilities.
Laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation, and administrative and staff offices are
provided with advanced computers connected by OHSU's network. A technical library focused on occupational
health houses CROET's Toxicology Information Center and is equipped
with access to extensive toxicology and medical databases. Conference rooms and a classroom accommodate CROET
staff, and the CROETweb.com website provides health and safety resources
to Oregon industry and labor.
